and combine with watching enemy AOE pattern and positioning, i spend more time looking at my hotbar and my song gauge than the actual screen with these class
I'd flip this around, and argue that the other ranged should be more like this. As physical ranged, we do not have cast times to worry about, nor do we have melee range or positional concerns.

It makes sense to make up for that lack of "built-in" difficulty somehow, and one way to do it is to have a somewhat higher level of randomness / tracking / juggling than would be allowed on a melee or caster.

A lot of people find Machinist to be dreadfully boring to play for more than a short while, because it has a kit that's tank-level in its simplicity. Without any of the other factors that make it so that tanks are still interesting to play, nor any casts or positionals to do so otherwise, it gets stale fast.
